deploying java program

[droidus]

how do i deploy a java program? it doesn't seem to load anything. here is my code:

<APPLET CODE="test.class" alt="alt" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="200">
</APPLET>

i have the index.html in a folder, as well as the test.class. in my java program, i have this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hello!");
}

thanks.

Please read the applet tutorials before trying to this as your post only demonstrates that you haven't done this yet. There you'll see that applets don't even have a main method but instead have init() among other things.

Java programs that are designed to be run within a web browser (called "applets") are a special type of program - and what you have written isn't one.

To make your program run you compile and run it from the command line. Go to whereever the .java file is and try:

javac -cp . test.java
java -cp . test

The first line compiles and the second runs the program.

-----

The class (and source .java file) should be renamed to start with a capital letter - Test and Test.java - in order to follow Java coding conventions.

There is a good page on how to get started with Java in Oracle's Tutorial.

why would i have problems running a java applet (such as this: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...ppletPage.html) in firefox? it just shows that its loading. it works in IE for me.

Maybe you need to find a Firefox forum for that question.

Have you enabled the Java plugin for Mozilla family in the Java control panel?
